In the following year Shelley and Byron met at Pisa. They were a good deal together; but their friendship, although real, does not appear to have been of a very profound nature; for though unlikeness be one of the necessary elements of friendship, there are kinds of unlikeness which will not harmonize.
With great care and good management she managed to appear pretty well dressed, although her gowns were much darned, and hardly held together.
When Olivo, in a whisper, began to speak of the strict discipline imposed upon this sisterhood once they were professed, the nuns must never appear unveiled before a man, and they were vowed to perpetual silence a smile flitted across Casanova's face. The Abbess suddenly emerged from the gloom, and was standing in their midst.
It may appear childish to attribute any effect to such apparently weak means: I cannot here enter on the details necessary to support this view; but if man can in a short time give elegant carriage and beauty to his bantams, according to his standard of beauty, I can see no good reason to doubt that female birds, by selecting, during thousands of generations, the most melodious or beautiful males, according to their standard of beauty, might produce a marked effect.

Much time has since elapsed, and you have thought yourself at length justified in appropriating this money to your own use. Our flattering prospects are now shut in.
I'm not so like that as I evidently appear; and if it's true that we're afraid other people will do the things we'd be most likely to do ourselves, it seems to me that I ought to be the one to be afraid. I ought to be afraid that somebody may say something about me to you that will make you believe I'm a professional forger." "No. We both know they won't," she said.
I don't agree with you at all that it is necessary to destroy the breast to draw a bow. I have quite a contrary belief which I follow, and I think that it is good for many others, probably for the majority. I have just developed my idea on that subject in a novel which has been sent to the Revue and will appear after About's.
